It was just a regular day at bubble Tucky pre-school. All of the children were playing and running in their giant classroom. Lily Gordon, a small girl with bright pink hair and big blue eyes, was working very hard on a blank sheet of paper. She had many colored crayons in her area, and seemed keep her eyes on her work. One of Lily's fiends came by and looked over her shoulder.

"Watcha drawin' Lily," asked the toothy Pre-schooler.

Lily looked up and smile, "I'm making a card for my daddy for Father's Day!",she refolded the card so the cover would show, "Look, here I am, and here's daddy! He's gonna love it!"

The blue eyed five ear old had worked very hard on her card. She had a detailed picture of herself holding hands with her father on the front, and a very heart felt note inside. In her opinion, it was the best present ever.

"That's nothin," sneered another young voice.

Lily huffed and turned to see Penny. Penny was Lily's "worst enemy" in the class. They never agreed on anything, and they never got along.

"What do you mean?" asked Lily in a defensive, but slightly worried, voice.

"You should see the gift I made for my daddy!,"Penny flipped her dark brown hair as she received her gift, "I painted a special cup for him! With beads and diamonds on it!"

Penny actually had made that. It was supposed to be a white mug, but was now splattered with pink paint that had "Worlds Best Dad" printed on the front.

"Well, my card is still good too!" shouted Lily as she held the paper close to her heart.

"No, it's not! It's all messy!" The brown haired girl stared at the front, "And what's that blue stuff near his head?"

"That's his hair," retorted Lily, "And it's perfect!"

Penny just rolled her eyes and walked away to pick on someone else. As she left, Lilly's heart began to sink. Was her card really messy, or too sloppy for her father to see? As the day passed by, through playtime, nap time, and even reading time, the pink haired child thought of her card.

"What's wrong with it?" she asked herself. Lily was sitting in her kitchen on the afternoon of Father's Day. She already did all of her favorite fathers day rituals with her family, but promised that she would have her gift ready at a later time. Now she had her backside planted on a stool, and her head in her hands, "I can't change it now! Looks like I'll have to throw it away and start all over again."

The small girl hopped down the stool with the card in hand. She was prepped to throw it in the garbage when Gil suddenly waltzed into the kitchen. Lily quickly tried to hide the gift behind her back.

"Hey Lily," The blue haired father said as he hugged his daughter,"What're you doing?"

"Uhhhhh, nothing," The girl tried to hide her gift even more, but had no choice but to face the music, she sighed, "I made this for you,"

She handed her father her gift and shrugged. Gil took a good look at the front. He then opened everything to read the words that were printed on the the inside.

-Dear Daddy,

You are the best daddy in the world. I love it when you hug me, play with me, kiss my boo boos, and make me feel special. I love you very much,

-Love, Lily

You could see the goofy smile spread across his face. The picture, the card, everything was so sweet. Knowing that his daughter made this especially for him nearly brought a tear to his eye. Gil quickly scooped Lily up and pulled her into a hug.

"I love it!" He said as he squeezed her tightly.

Lily was surprised,"Huh? But it doesn't have any diamonds on it! Or glitter! Or beads!"

"Why would it need all that stuff?" the father asked, confused," It's just fine as it is."

"Because Penny said that it wasn't good enough. You wouldn't like it because it wasn't all glittery." The small child explained.

Gil smiled and sat on a nearby chair with Lily on his lap, "Lil, I will love everything you give me. Even if its a pile of rocks! You don't have to give me some big present covered in jewels to show that you really care. I would accept anything."

The father and daughter hugged tightly.

"Even a pile of rocks?" the small child giggled.

"Even a pile of rocks," The father laughed back.

Even though Penny didn't think Lilly's gift was good enough, Gil thought it was more than enough. It had a lot of effort put into it, and showed that Lily really loved her father , and wanted to show it in the most special of ways. She had to admit, this turned out to be a pretty good Father's Day.


Whew, for starters, there's a lot that's been happening this weekend that I couldn't update! On Friday night I had my eighth grade graduation and got a headache so i was too hurt to write. Then tonight I had the eighth grade dance (it was a blast) and I was tired after that. But I'm still pushin. So Lily's moment is done, now it's Luke's turn, and then Rini and Kyouhei! So stay tuned!'
